Join a waiting list for a resident parking permit

Waiting lists for resident parking permits

Currently, the following zones have a waiting list.

If you move to an address in one of these zones you will need to join a waiting list to get a resident parking permit.

Why there's a waiting list

Due to the number of flats and houses in Brighton & Hove and the amount of available parking spaces, we have waiting lists for certain parking zones.

How the waiting list works

Each parking zone has a set number of resident parking permits available. Waiting times vary depending on the number of permits returned or not renewed.

Blue Badge permit holders do not need to join the waiting list.

If you move from one waiting list parking zone to another, return your current parking permit and join the waiting list for your new parking zone.

Once you hold a parking permit in a waiting list zone

Make sure you do not allow your parking permit to expire. If your permit does expire, you'll need to re-join the waiting list.

All residential parking permits can be renewed up to 6 weeks before their expiry date through MyAccount.

We'll automatically send reminder emails to permit holders who have provided an email address:

6 weeks before the expiry of the parking permit
1 week before the expiry of the parking permit, at this point we will also send a text if you have still not renewed

We will issue a reminder letter to permit holders who have not provided an email address, 6 weeks before the expiry of the parking permit. If you've provided a mobile phone number, we will also send a text.

While you're on the waiting list

While you're waiting for your resident parking permit, you can buy visitor parking permits. These are single day permits that you or your visitors can use to park in your zone.
